EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the remnants of Cosy's Bunker at Juno Beach in Normandy, a poignant reminder of the heavy fighting that took place on 6 June 1944. Named after Lt. William F. "Cosy" Aitken of the B Company, Royal Winnipeg Rifles, this bunker holds historical significance as the site where Aitken's number 10 platoon made their heroic entry into enemy territory. The scene portrays the grim reality of war, with the battered concrete structure bearing the scars of intense combat. The apertures, once used to hurl grenades, now stand as silent witnesses to the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought there. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the pivotal moment in history when the Allied forces began their invasion of Europe. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the D-Day landings, and serves as a testament to their unwavering resolve in the face of adversity.
